Winter has come but you would know
My lady’s in town for a few nights alone
I’m off the map and I’ve shut off my phone
Don’t come to my house cuz there’s nobody home
The receiver is set to phono
The needle drops at the sound of our clothes
A wall of sound to muffle our moans
We’ve got time to take it real slow
It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight
It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight
It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight
It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight
Stay close to me Bessie
When it's cold outside
There are world forming
When I look in your eyes
Stay close to me Bessie
When it's cold outside
There are world forming
When I look in your eyes
Your eyes
(It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight)
Your eyes
(It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight)
Your eyes
(It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight)
Your eyes
(It’s like Accra In Wisconsin tonight)
Stay close to me Bessie
When it's cold outside
There are world forming
When I look in your eyes
Stay close to me Bessie
When it's cold outside
There are world forming
When I look in your eyes
Stay close to me Bessie
When it's cold outside
There are world forming
When I look in your eyes
Your eyes
When I look in your eyes

Smell The Rain

I smell the rain again
For the millionth time
In who knows when
She kissed my cheek and left
Leaving my words to fade in the wind
These thoughts are made of gold
I'll pluck them out and swallow them whole
I smell the rain again
I smell the rain again
I've had such high hopes
I won't always have a safety rope
Wind gusts like a tornado
Holding on for dear life at this rodeo
Let my patience decompose
That's who you are I suppose
Do you have thoughts of your own?
Or is something else in control?
All this and more
Tune into the next episode
I've had such high hopes
I won't always have a safety rope
I've had such high hopes
I won't always have a safety rope
I smell the rain again
It comes alive
Even with no scent
Her presence came and went
When it comes around she tries to circumvent
These thoughts are made of gold
She plucks them out and swallows them whole
I hold her pain again
She brings the rain again
I've had such high hopes
I won't always have a safety rope
I've had such high hopes
I won't always have a safety rope
I won't always have a safety rope
I won't always have a safety rope
I won't always have a safety rope
I won't always have a safety rope

Unknown menagerie
It’s been so long since we left
A distant memory
Our old lives left in the past
The goal trajectory
Conform and reconnaissance
To build new histories
Devoid of consequences
When I woke up
Just before dawn
Something tripped
The silent alarm
Where’d my friends go
All their things have gone
They must have left unharmed
This might sound crazy
Have they all just left me
Am I too hasty
My thoughts seem shaky
Untrain my mind
Identities intertwined
A path designed
I ask myself Why
I’m all alone now
My friends are gone, they all left
I woke up at dawn
When I tried their coms were all dead
It’s dark and cold out
Resolve bear fruitless
The panic came on
What if they’re never coming back
Untrain my mind
Identities intertwined
A path designed
I ask myself Why
I have no friends on this planet
The third dimensions a bore
They said that they couldn’t stand it
They all needed a fourth
But I have friends on other planets
That stand ten feet tall
And when they travel
It’s Interdimensional

Run Rabbit Run
03:06

In an instant that memories pass
through a ruined and abandoned synapses
Uncovered memories memories
Surrendered various fantasies
Roam free without a map
Until the weight of my body collapses
Enduring countless catastrophes
Over and over again for centuries
Run Rabbit Run
It’s time to race the rising sun
A new day has just begun
Don't stop don't stop until you’ve won
In the time that sentiments pass
The thought of utter contempt lapses
Uncovered memories memories
Creating numerous fantasies
Roam free without a lamp
Until the darkness consumes your ashes
Inflicting internal catastrophes
Over and over the only casualty
Run Rabbit Run
You need to chase the rising sun
There's more days left to come
Don't stop don't stop don't stop
When the wolves come to hunt
The rabbit learns to run
When the wolves come to hunt
The rabbit learns to run

You can’t sit there and watch the world go by
Don’t be willing to lose all desire
No more shadows, no shades of gray
You could draw light to the darkest cave
The winds are changing, buckle up for the ride
Your ships prepared for the rising tide
Fragile texture, vibrant world to grip
All of these hacks couldn’t write your script
A spot of light in a world of pitch black
A burst of turquoise wrapped in lilac
Take all the chances, no more turning back
There's no off road when you make the path
Palettes balanced, the strokes are too high
Filled with knowledge, a heart of sapphire
The world is waiting, time to defy
You can see it all with your baby blue eyes
When you want to sing strong
You will find your song
Truth is it was written all along
Absorbing air in your lungs
You can listen for the drums
And it'll slip right from your tongue
A spot of light in a world of pitch black
A burst of turquoise wrapped in lilac
No more shadows, no shades of gray
You could draw light to the darkest cave
The winds are changing, buckle up for the ride
Your ships prepared for the rising tide
The world is waiting, time to defy
You can see it all with your baby blue eyes
